Frameland: A Binary Tale

I've been looking for something like this for a long time, Add a voiceover and then it'll be 10\10.

I love it! + role-playing game + pixel graphics + dialog + turn-based boss battles, but in a unique unusual style ;) + retro gaming atmosphere but with a modern context variety of locations are impressive ^^

This game is incomplete...? You get an airship and a map, but you can only go to one location and it just says "coming in a few days". I assumed this meant in-game days, but NOPE -- you're at the end of the game. Fantastic. There are also a lots of puzzles and seemingly inaccessible chests that I assumed you needed to return to, and there never was a way to return. There is also a trading side-quest that didn't culminate in anything, either that or I missed it? I was seriously tempted to rate this down and say "review is coming in a few days", but... If it weren't for the egregious problems noted above, I'd still say this was a good game overall. So buy it if you're prepared for this in mind. This is a solid RPG. A lot of heart and dedication clearly went into it, but it ultimately feels rushed at points and kind of feels like it ends abruptly. First half of the game felt really solid; second half, not so much. It has an intriguing and unique story, excellent pixel-art graphics, great sense of humor, and fun gameplay. There's a lot of impressive little details throughout this game that makes it really come "alive". Almost every tile is able to be interacted with, and frequently provides backstory or commentary on the characters or the universe. Overall a good game, I just wish the devs finished it.

Fun game, 7 hours in and I want to see what's next. Good enough for me! The timing mechanic makes the battles more engaging.

What can I say. I had a lot of fun playing this game. There is great attention to detail. You can interact with a lot of stuff and I tried to find most of it. Though, the text for random irrelevant objects can get pretty repetitive. Yet sometimes they do give some info or an item. So it can be worth doing. Also the sound design and soundtrack are very fitting. The soundtrack is all-around great to listen to. The story is is interesting and while some of the revelations I had guessed, others caught me off-guard. If you are unsure, just give the demo a try. It gives you a great peek into what the game is like.

A pixel adventure, love letter to 90's kids Good - Sidequest - Hidden Boss at hidden area - Ultimate equipment Can be improved - Add speed settings, the dialogue and battle text can be lil bit faster - Add "run" toggle - More sidequest but with hint and something like log tracker - More hidden boss - More area to explore - The enemy is almost cannot be avoided, - Hint or warning when aproaching final dungeon could be nice This game is potential to be expanded or having sequels;

Durch den Kauf dieses Spiels erhaltet ihr ein Erstlingswerk. Dies sollte euch bewusst sein. Die Liebe und Hingabe für dieses Projekt lässt sich überall in der Spielwelt wiederfinden. Die Story ist durchaus gelungen, wenn auch stellenweise ein wenig vorhersehrbar. ( Besonders zum Ende hin ) Musik ist der absolute HAMMER ! Ein fettes Lob dafür. ( Besonders die Endboss Musik.. hatte Gänsehaut ) Gegnerdesign war sehr schön und detailreich. Überhaupt gab es viele Gegnertypen. Wenn ich etwas bemängeln müsste, wäre es der Schwierigkeitsgrad. Es war leider sehr leicht zum Ende zu kommen. Ich habe ein wenig Backtracking betrieben und keinen Kampf ausgelassen. Evtl. lag es daran. Aber die Heilung war viel zu stark. ^^ Musste gefühlt 0 Heilitems einsetzen. Evlt. habe ich auch zu gutes Equip gehabt. ( PS Im optionalen Gebiet mit den stärkeren Monstern war ich nur sehr kurz ) Und leider muss ich die Spielzeit auch ein sehr kleines bisschen bemängeln. Habe wirklich ALLES angeklickt und gelesen was mir so vor die Flinte geworfen wurde. Dennoch nur 16 Stunden sind für ein Rollenspiel ein wenig mau. ( könnte es durch das optionale Gebiet wahrscheinlich auf 20 -30 std strecken, aber keine Lust auf Grind ^^ ) Alles in Allem bereue ich den Kauf kein Stück. Nicht alleine, dass das Kampfsystem mir sehr gefallen hat. Nein auch die Tatsache, dass ich ein "junges" Indie-Team mit meinen Kauf unterstützen konnte - machen alle Kritik wieder wett. Ich hoffe ihr hatte mit dem Spiel Erfolg und drücke die Daumen auf einen Nachfolger / Nachfolgeprrojekt!

Obwohl ich mir mehr Entscheidungsfreiheiten bei der Story in Richtung großer RPG gewunschen hätte, hat mir Frameland dennoch zugesagt. Vor allem das Kampfsystem aus Timing und Rundenbasis ist solide und birgt sogar einen Schuss Pokemon. Fans des Genres kann ich es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

10/10! real indie games apparently do still exist! if youre looking for something personal, something thats not polished to death and actually has character, where you can feel that its made by a human being, this is for you. battle system is effin dope!

Solid 7/10 game. I would easily give this a 8 maybe even a 9 if it wasn't for the way the timing mechanic works in combat. Outside of that this is a nice game. Pros: *Short and to the point game and story. I get burnt out playing 30-40+ hour RPGs. I beat this one in a little under 13 hours. *Good writing. The characters are good and dialogue can be quite cheesy at times but there is charm to it and has made me laugh. *Combat is good and there is slight strategy to it. *You can examine almost anything in game and your characters will have something to say about it. Makes it pretty immersive. Cons: *The timing mechanic in combat is atrociously implemented. The timings themselves are ok but every single thing has a timing "X" you have to watch over your attacks or defending. I couldn't tell you what any of the combat animations were in the game because you have to watch the "X" animation to time your stuff. Every single action. By the end of the game I was ready to quit because combat just became staring at that dang "X". This alone is the reason I drop the score of the game. *Little in the ways of meaningful Gear or customization. There is equipment but only weapon and armor and there's only like 4-5 per character in the game. You have slots for relics but they don't do a whole lot.
